Hey, thank you for your questions...

Q:Isn’t my employer going to see me logging in to some random service with my work account? Will the corporate Microsoft identity provider even have you in the allowlist?

- It's like having your accounts synced into Apple Mail (or some other Google app). The difference is that it organizes your contacts and keep your data stored in the cloud;

Q: I can just connect with everyone I know from work on LinkedIn

- That's for sure, but, the idea here is more a CRM than a social network;

Q: I avoid doing personal business on my work machine so when I am terminated I don’t lose anything

- But again, the idea here is to use in many different situations. For instance: you had an old domain but instead of using the Apple Mail, you used a service that store it for you in the cloud. So, you can still have access to it because the data belongs to you... but after a while you don't have the domain anymore.

Example C: anything I know I want to keep long term I save in some way that the company can’t keep

- And this is one example of how the platform is used for.

Example D: I don’t actually want to engage in Example C because it violates company policy and nothing I do at work is worth getting sued over. - The problem doesn't happen only to company emails... that was my situation with stuffs that I saved by mistake...
